Additionally, AMIHA has administered contracts that involved the comprehensive rehabilitation of over 100 existing units during the same timeframe. AMIHA currently has approximately 144 units in management.

Message from the Executive Director, Dave Shaffer

Recently, AMIHA received very good news from the Phoenix HUD office. In May, AMIHA submitted 5 ICDBG applications for the construction of 13 homes in 2018. On September 14th, AMIHA received word that all 5 grant applications will be funded. These grants provide the funds for 3 new homes on the Torres Martinez Reservation, 3 homes in La Jolla, 3 in Cahuilla, 2 new homes at Santa Rosa and 2 homes at Viejas.

This is the first time in the history of the ICDBG program that an applicant has received 5 awards in a single funding cycle. AMIHA has led the nation in ICDBG awards over the past several years. Since 2009, AMIHA has received and completed 25 ICDBG grants. These grants have been instrumental in the development of over 70 new homes along with some major infrastructure development and improvements.

All the newly funded homes will be constructed in 2018. Congrats to the AMIHA staff for a job well done!
